During the course, you will learn the cultural, spiritual, and practical aspects of saunakeeping. The program combines engaging workshops, hands-on activities, and deep reflection, designed to foster a profound connection with yourself and nature.

My name is Helen Moppel, and I’m a saunawoman — or, as we also say, a saunakeeper. I warmly invite you to join us on this journey into the ancient Estonian sauna tradition. Whether you are a beginner or have some experience, this course is an incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in a deep and healing cultural practice that has nurtured generations.

PS: We are also looking for 1-2 volunteers during the courses. If you're interested in volunteering and being part of this special experience, please get in touch!

Come and discover the timeless art of sauna, and let it inspire, heal, and connect you in ways you never imagined!
